jsoup: Java HTML Parser
jsoup is a Java library that makes it easy to work with real-world HTML and XML. It offers an easy-to-use API for URL fetching, data parsing, extraction, and manipulation using DOM API methods, CSS, and xpath selectors.
jsoup implements the WHATWG HTML5 specification, and parses HTML to the same DOM as modern browsers.
jsoup is designed to deal with all varieties of HTML found in the wild; from pristine and validating, to invalid tag-soup; jsoup will create a sensible parse tree.
See jsoup.org for downloads and the full API documentation.
Example
Fetch the Wikipedia homepage, parse it to a DOM, and select the headlines from the In the news section into a list of Elements (online sample, full source):
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("https://en.wikipedia.org/").get();
log(doc.title());
Elements newsHeadlines = doc.select("#mp-itn b a");
for (Element headline : newsHeadlines) {
log("%s\n\t%s",
headline.attr("title"), headline.absUrl("href"));
}
